300 plus vat for parts, so not too bad I suppose. Must say, after having a new mazda 2 hire car,getting back in monte is an absolute joy 👌👍

£843 ouch!

DVSA have baled, they say that it's not a safety issue 🙄

If over tightening was the issue then of course a higher tensile bolt would have prevented the failure. My gut feeling is that they haven't been tightened enough, causing the fixture to fret against the bolt head. I'm going to try and retrieve the original rail for inspection and to prove that nothing underhand is taking place ,I will be very surprised if so.

Done ✔️

Don't think I will bother wasting my time.

What a fiasco. Garage that I use have phoned me today to inform me that they have had to order a new fuel as the old rail has bent. I can't see how the rail could have bent, I'm going to get the old one back of course ,so I can examine it. I'm going to send an email to skoda uk about the issue.

Correct, plus I couldn't risk the extortionate labour rates. It's definitely a hazard though. Should time not have been an issue and was doing the work myself i would have ordered some 10.9 or 12.9 bolts to put my mind at rest.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I have had the car taken to a local garage, i just simply haven't got the time to do it. I'll post the latest prices for the parts. Thanks for your help 👍

Absolutely mint,top marks 👌 I have removed all the bolts and the coolant pipes from the upper part of the inlet manifold. It still seems reluctant to come off,is there anything underneath that needs removing? Rain has stopped play at the minute

One of the fuel rail bolts has sheared. Can anyone give me a quick guide to removing the manifold so that i can drill the stud out? Many thanks, desperate 🙏

Hi, Can anyone tell me if the 2016 monte has lowered suspension as standard? Trying to buy replacements from autodoc and I'm bewildered by the choice. Tia

I have the pocketgpsworld speed cam database running in the background. Works ok and also gives an overspeed warning.

My Huawei phone would not work with android auto until I tried a better quality usb cable, I bought an 'Anker' cable, you can tell straight away when you plug it in that it's a quality item.
